Well-Being Shouldn’t be hard: What if the only problem is the one you create by fighting with yourself?
On my walk this morning, I was cursing the pain in my lower back. Why is this still here? When is it gonna go away? What do I gotta do better… and then I caught myself. I placed my hands on my lower back, breathed gently and said “I see you.”
In the past I would have added a - what do you need and searched through my mind's catalogue of tools, exercises, therapies, for a ‘solution’. But this time I didn’t.
I accepted there was a message my back was sending me and like any caring parent, my only job was to show up, listen, and offer my love.
How often are you blaming your body? Criticizing yourself for how you look or feel?
Maybe it’s fatigue that stops you from being able to do the activities you want to do
Or the anxiety that keeps you up at night
Or the extra pounds that won’t shed
Or the health issues that don’t seem to change, even though you’re doing it all right
It may have become so normal that you don’t even notice when these thoughts take over
Like how I almost missed them on my walk
The world will tell you you have problems that need fixing. I disagree
I’m coming to realize true health isn’t about fixing anything, it’s about coming home to loving ourselves the way we were always supposed to
As I write this, a few hours after my walk, I’m realizing that the back pain didn’t bother me the rest of the walk
